487.0. "WWW New Years eve 1999" by MAL009::COOK () Sat Nov 18 1995 11:14

    The other day I called my travel agent to try to book space
    at WWW for New Year's eve 1999. I thought this would be a 
    great place to be at the turn of the century.  Well so di
    everyone else in the world. I was told all rooms are booked
    for that time. I thought I was early. Has anyone else 
    heard that they are all booked for that time?

    Hi Jean,
    
    Someone in my office tried calling down about 6 months ago for New
    Year 1999 and they were booked then.  The only option would be to
    book off property or see if there is a waiting list.  Who knows how
    many "new" properties WDW will have by then.
    
487.2Best Bet: Wilderness JunctionWREATH::SCOPAMon Nov 20 1995 09:5412
    A few months back while in the AOL Disney Chat we had a side discussion
    on this  and one of the Castmembers had mentioned that all the rooms
    had been booked. The only possibility of getting a room will be to book
    one of the yet to be built resorts.
    
    My suggestion is top call the CRO and ask when future bookings for
    future resorts will begin.
    
    If I was REAL HOT on going I'd focus in on Wilderness Junction as my
    primary target.

    Me and my wife had been toying with the idea of going to WDW on the
    turn of the century.  I guess procrastination was a bad idea...  we've
    heard from others that they are sold out for New Years Eve 1999.  Only
    hope is hitting a reservation for a new hotel they build between now
    and then.
    
    This is not first-hand info, btw.  I should probably check it out. 
    Anybody else make reservations for then?

	We booked a room for Dec 21, 1999 thru January 4, 2000 at
	the Contempory - In the Tower, highest floor possible, with
	a magic kingdom view (Hey, why not go for the gold, right!)
	I made the reservation about a year and a half ago.  It was
	between $300 and $400 a night - Can't remember off the top
	of my head...

	We're wait listed for 3 nights (of course!) (dec 30/31/jan1)
	When we made the reservation that told us that ALL monorail
	hotels were blocks out for those 3 nights.  For visiting
	officials, vips, stars/etc that will be "present or performing
	during that time" and that most likely quite a few of the
	rooms will be released as the time gets closer.

	I'd say DEFINATELY get on the waiting list!!

487.5Better thinking about what to eatNPSS::SILVATue Nov 28 1995 12:0310
We got our reservations at the Beach Club last August. I just kept calling
every other week for about 6 months. When I got them I was told by the person 
taking reservations that alot of the restaurants are also getting booked, so
we should think about reservations for eating. The only problem is I am not
sure what I will be in the mood for..

487.6new resorts not availMSDOA::POULSENTue Dec 05 1995 12:235
    Boardwalk is now taking reservations, but they WILL NOT take
    reservations for New Years 1999.  the reservation agent told me that
    they will hold the new resorts open for that time period for quite
    awhile.  makes no sense to me.
    
487.7BABAGI::BARNETTSHERIThu Dec 07 1995 08:539
    We have had reservations for over two years now.  We have 2 rooms at the
    Yacht Club and a Villa in the market place.  (We actually have 10 Villas 
    reserved)  We received a call from Disney a few weeks ago asking us to 
    switch from the Villas to the Boardwalk Hotel.  Since we are having many 
    friends and relatives join us during that time, we managed to keep all 
    our current reservations and get 10+ MORE rooms at the Boardwalk.  
    We are going Dec 27, 1999 to Jan 5, 2000.
